Dry ice  would be great for treating wet supers for moth and beetle.  Would 
do a  pretty good job of eliminating hot colonies of bees  too.



You can have it shipped to you, or depending on how much you need and how  
much you want to invest, you can make it yourself rather cheaply.  CO2  
cylinders are available and at the pressures that are in the commercial tanks,  you 
can use a device that attached to the tank will form 1 pound cakes of the  solid 
CO2 (dry ice) at least until the cylinder is about half full.
